These look remarkably like the huge scary gits that keep hiding in my laundry.

I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider in August when I was clearing some brush from my property. Within 24 hours I had a hole in the top of my right foot as big as an egg. The skin just "melted" for lack of a better word. It was pretty gross and I'm thankful I listened to my GF and went to the hospital when I did. The doc said if I had waited another 24 hours I might have lost my foot. :(

That's nasty!
I'm thankful that we don't have much in the way of poisonous creatures in the UK.

Global warming means that spiders which originate from southern Europe and North Africa and Asia are now more likely to be able to survive in Britain. So heating bills in the UK must be getting lower and the growing season must be getting longer, enabling more food production. But I guess those benefits pale in comparison to a spider capable of putting someone in hospital for 3 days.

A man spent three days in hospital after being bitten by a venomous spider now spreading across the country because of global warming. When the first sentence of an article is such an outright lie, how can you believe the rest of it.
To: Mrs Ivan
So, a change of 1°C in the weather over the past 100 years caused this spider to spread?
To: AmericaUnited
why ? Global warming happens and with that animals and plants typical for an area are changing.
That's a simple fact.

Yes, natural global warming/cooling happens and 'critters' do adjust accordingly. But we both know that this paper does not mean that kind. They mean MAN MADE global warming and this story is just more phony hyped, "we're all going to die" blathering.

If you think this story is 'politically' neutral and just intended as 'pure science' then you really are clueless.
To: AmericaUnited
Is there a reason you have to insult people on the internet ?

several years ago I had one bite me on my left bicep. It wasn't as bad as yours, but it wouldn't heal. The doctor eventually just excised the area and sewed it up.
